Bite-sized nuggets to help you be successful in your next talk…

Connect With Your Audience

Develop a good rapport with your audience right from the start. Be sure to begin on a lighter, more relaxed manner by telling a joke, interesting anecdote or a story before leading into your presentation. It is best to lead into the presentation, however, it may be unrelated if it is suitable for the situation. You may also choose to interact with a few people in the audience by asking for their names and what they hope to achieve by listening to your presentation. You want to capture or draw in the attention of your audience and having a personal connection with them is a great way to do so.
